[the alarming man]

the major panel manufactures (Honeywell being one) spent millions developing panels they not going to be circumnavigated by a £40 chip blower...mind you if by some fluke you have found away(which by the way is not going to happen over night) give me a shout as I know the local Barclays is an easy target.

I myself have been in the industry for over 25 years (from installation up to panel designing both Texecom and Honeywell) and I know a lot of engineers would be interested in hearing on how this is done 

[Kevin Wood]

Depends on the panel in question but, given that this is presumably a domestic installation, I'd be very surprised if there isn't a simple procedure for resetting it to defaults if, indeed, that's even required in this instance.

[the alarming man]

you can load defaults easily but the problems arise when the NVM is locked and you cannot do this 

[Kevin Wood]

But it only knows the NVM is locked by setting a bit in the NVM, so clearly it's not going to be rocket science to work around that?

In any case, as I say, every panel I've come across in a domestic installation, there has been a simple procedure to reset it to defaults without resorting to device programmers regardless of what settings have been made. The manufacturers would be too inundated with muppets returning panels when they've made a mistake programming them otherwise.

And as you have worked for Texecom you will know they are one of the easiest.

Early texicom stuff was a joke but to be fair, the newer grade 2 premier series stuff is pretty good.

Anyway, if folks have finished waving there dicks around finished trying to out do each other, anybody know what panel is fitted to Barry's house so we can help the bloke

It's a Texecom.

Veritas or Premier?

The Veritas ones are easy to reset, well advised to do so then you can shed the dependency on the fitter.

Premier

I'm a Scantronic man myself
Iirc, premier are 2 stage reset
I'll dig out the default code later when I'm home.
Long shot but if he hasn't changed the default engineers code, you may be lucky.

That's if nobody beats me to it first

[Marks DTM Calib]

Easy to reset if the NVM bit has not been set in the E², if it has then its a read of the E² to modify the bit.

I would hope the default Tech code of 1234 has been changed

Thanks for all your help
